How do US terrorism and gun crime deaths measure up?
After 10 people were killed and 7 more were wounded in a mass shooting in Oregon, President Obama challenged the media to compare the number of people killed by terrorism and gun homicide. Using data initially published on Vox, Statista created a comparison of terrorism and gun homicide deaths from 2001 to 2011 for the Independent.
